Chocolate happens to be a universal favourite. I’ve never met a soul who was indifferent towards chocolate. We all enjoy a delicious bar of chocolate or a melting gooey brownie from time to time. Whilst floral and musky scents often have a stronghold in the world of fragrances, chocolate seems has a fair share of takers. They say a small bite of chocolate can boost our endorphins, we’re certain that applies to chocolate fragrances too.
Let’s accept it, notes of cacao beans add richness to chocolate fragrances. An underrated component that happens to be versatile, chocolate makes for a delightful fusion with a variety of notes, whether these are warm, tangy or even floral!
Here are some chocolate fragrances you can add to your fragrance wardrobe.
Hugo Boss, Boss The Scent Intense For Her

A blend of florals and cocoa, it is a contrasting fragrance which is intense with a sweet add-on. Top notes of freesia and honeyed peach ensure a feminine start to the fragrance and when notes of cocoa, mandarin and pink pepper make a warm appearance, your olfactory senses are hit with a rather spicy scent.
Mugler, Angel Eau de Parfum

An oldie but goodie, Angel by Mugler hit the shelves in 1992 and is a pretty iconic scent. What makes this one special is that it’s a sweet blend of vanilla, cotton candy, caramel and chocolate praline! This works because while it’s sweet, it’s not cloyingly so. You can take our word for it.
Yves Saint Laurent, Black Opium Eau de Parfum

I have a confession to make. Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a personal favourite of mine and I might have gone through many bottles of this. A sweet, floral scent intertwined with a dash of boozy bourbon vanilla is what makes this fragrance a winner. And if that wasn’t enough, hints of patchouli find their way here. Quite an upgrade from the original scent, no?
Billie Eilish, Eilish

Billie Eilish releasing her own gourmand fragrance was certainly something we never saw coming but then, for all good reasons, it became highly anticipated. Specially created for individuals who have an inkling towards soft, spicy scents, this one comes with notes of berry, cocoa, and vanilla mixed with some invigorating spices. This fragrance makes for quite an addition to your vanity.

Well, Byredo’s Velvet Haze Eau de Parfum doesn’t have the same remnants of chocolate as the other ones on this list. Patchouli asserts its dominance in this earthy scent. You’re going to find subdued notes of chocolate mixed with coconut water and wild musk.
Tom Ford, Black Orchid

Black Orchid by Tom Ford is the ultimate attention-grabbing and seductive scent. Subtle notes of chocolate mixed with a combination of ylang-ylang, patchouli and vanilla ensure that this is a rich, mysterious perfume. So if you’re looking for a fragrance that does a stellar job at making heads turn, Black Orchid is the one to grab.
